After the jihad attack on a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, with two murdered and several others wounded, by the terrorist Jihad al-Shamie, Israeli leaders spoke about the rise in antisemitic attacks in Britain. More on their response can be found here: “‘Weakness in face of terrorism’: Netanyahu notes UK’s failings after Manchester attack,” Jerusalem Post, October 2, 2025:
Following the deadly attack in a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur, Israeli leaders condemned the incident and addressed the increase in antisemitic attacks in the United Kingdom.
“Israel grieves with the Jewish community in the UK after the barbaric terror attack in Manchester,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “Our hearts are with the families of the murdered, and we pray for the swift recovery of the wounded. As I warned at the UN: weakness in the face of terrorism only brings more terrorism. Only strength and unity can defeat it.”
President Isaac Herzog spoke with Mark Adlestone, chair of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester, and expressed his heartfelt sorrow over the attack, sending his prayers and condolences to the victims and their families.
The president revealed that just earlier this week, he sent a letter to King Charles III expressing concern about the rise of antisemitism in the UK and the Commonwealth.
In his letter, the President highlighted the severe challenges facing Jewish communities in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, where incidents of violent antisemitism have surged to unprecedented levels.
“Your Majesty,” he wrote in the letter, “some of the most difficult scenes of antisemitic hatred and violence have sadly been witnessed in the UK, Australia, and Canada. Three proud democracies. Three proud leaders of the free world. Three proud Commonwealth countries under the Crown. Three countries where Jews no longer feel safe.”
The president stressed the urgency of combating the rise in hatred against Jews….
Of course, Keir Starmer should have had security guards sent to every synagogue in the UK during the period of High Holy Days, from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. He failed to do so. And he has failed to address the nation, as he ought to have, with a speech on the epidemic of antisemitic attacks in the U.K., listing some of the most disturbing examples, and promising to fight this scourge, in the first place, by making mandatory in state schools the study of antisemitism and the Holocaust. He should then examine the link between the malignant reporting on Israel, the grotesque charge flung at the Jewish state of “genocide,” and the increase in antisemitic attitudes and attacks.
And if making this link between the unhinged antipathy to Israel (at the UN, on the BBC, on TikTok) and antisemitism proves beyond Keir Starmer’s most modest abilities, then others, such as Nigel Farage of the Reform Party, and Kemi Badenoch, head of the Conservative Party, should be prepared to do so.
Patrick says
Starmer is in-bed with Islam and Muslims in the UK. Of course, he’s silent on the attacks because he wants more Muslim immigrants in Britain. Starmer is sympathetic to poor, peaceful, Muslims, his silence is sympathy. Starmer is a real leftist/Islamist scum bag, you can’t get any more anti-Uk than Shitmer! 💩🥷🏻💩
Eddie says
It’s not just the Jews being abandoned to the violence and excesses of Islam it is the whole native British population.
And the threat is not only from Islam.
The murders and the horrific rapes perpetuated by foreign imported backward savages continue and increase week by week.
It is no use appealing to the King.
He epitimises all that is wrong with the UK.
And it is no use looking to Badenoch or the Reform Party. Useless Party politicians, no integrity no committment no leadership.
Every single facet of British society is breaking down. Every institution is unfit for purpose.
More people will die.

A lot of Brits thought that the EU was the reason for Britain’s collapse as a society. Partly yes, but here is another secret: it’s the Commonwealth – something that’s a sacred cow among people who cherish Britain’s colonial history, that’s the other part of it. I have seen stand-ups who joked that after colonialism ended, the colonized people followed the English back to Britain. There were also other things in the original documents that tried to forge a unity of all people’s of the British commonwealth, as though people from Guyana or Jamaica or Malaysia or India were more similar to the English than were the French, the Dutch or the Germans
I know that the “i-word” is dirty, but
BritainEngland needs to try isolation for a while. No EU, no Commonwealth, no EHRC, not even “Five Eyes”….. Just England by itself. Cut Scotland and even Wales loose. A few days ago, I was looking up Northern Ireland on Wiki, and looks like a majority of the population there is Catholic. Which defeats the original purpose of that place being a part of the UK and not the Irish RepublicOnce this is done, deport everyone who hasn’t assimilated, and freeze immigration for, say, 50 years. Do everything home grown. Don’t have to be technologically backwards: it’s the era of “Open Source” so anybody has access to the most modern of technologies, particularly in computing and other high tech
Just that I don’t see anyone, particularly in the political realm, supporting this
Eddie says
Sorry Infidel but I largely disagee.
There is no problem with the Union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Historical
disagreements there have been about individual Nationalism but nothing fundamental affecting cohesion today.
We see evident common cause between these little original Nations and surprising even with folk of the Irish Republic.
It is the intrusion of foreigners by the mass and the danger brought by Islam which is the problem – imported problems.
As regards the Commonwealth this was a fanciful creation to assuage the guilt of rich and the aristocrats following the collapse of Empire.
It meant nothing to ordinary folk.
The late Queen loved the Commonwealth and IF any criticism of her is to be allowed it is that.
The problem is to be sourced from the fact that the population of countries in the British Empire were ALL regarded as “Subjects of the Queen/King. ”
Thus catergorised they were on a par with the native British ‘subjects’
British citizenship was not defined by law.
This situation did not envisage that millions of African and South Asian “subjects” would actually decide to live in Britain!!
In the past such travel would have been difficult if not impossible for the brown subjects in far off lands. Easier today !
Enoch Powell once described The Commonwealth as ” The Ghost of a vanished Empire” and that the countries forming it had ” nothing in common and no weaith”
So we odinary native “British” folk can blame the toffs who made money out of the Empire – and indeed the Monarchy who perpetuated a fiction perhaps to satisfy their own ego ?
The poor got nothing out of this beyond seeing their cities and towns transformed into third world enclaves.
We live today with the consequences and worse because we are now invaded by people from countries who were never part of the Commonwealth but are openly hostile to us and here by invite of do gooder globalists.
Rant over.

Throughout centuries British subjects have died for King and Country. Look what that has got them. There is a lesson in there somewhere.

For centuries Britain has–in most cases–been *worth* fighting for. Britons need to make that the case again.
Westman says
Maybe the UK political leaders don’t care?
Globalist leaders can’t control crime and drugs in London, Paris, Frankfurt, or, in many US cities so it seems law enforcement needing some success nips at the law-abiding with new laws and biases provided by EU globalists to keep up appearances. The US hasn’t yet jailed citizens for free speech but is bending the meaning of “hate speech” in that direction.
What globalist elites agree among themselves is never in public media for the pawns to know, only what government wants them to believe. They have no willingness to help Israel, or stop Islamic ingress, or disallow their citizens to demonstrate violently for Hamas because it serves their long term interests of remaining in power while keeping the pawns down.
The problem of this non-action against troublemakers is the violence will eventually reach the elite’s lives and homes.
This is just a thought…. what if the Globalist intention is the destruction of Old Europe’s lower classes and its Muslim immigrants – through a hot war with Russia? Cities like London and Paris would be among those centrally destroyed, need rebuilding and repopulation. Immigration from Muslim nations would be stopped as a side effect and government dole services would have collapsed.
What if an EU- Russia war happens through political stumbling, would the outcome be different? Starmer, Macron, Merz, and Rutte are certainly willing if they can just get the bodyguard, the US, tricked in with them.
It was just a thought but the elite political class can’t ignore the problems forever because the young pet alligator will eventually have an enormous appetite and a desire for finer cuisine.

But how many in the UK will care?
tgusa says
Three reasons Americans should support Israel.
Jews immigrated to Israel to escape religious persecution.
Israelis fought the British to obtain independence.
Israelis are surrounded by millions of hostiles who want them dead.
That all sounds very, back in the day, American.

It is not just Israel who should be fighting Islam, the whole world is being attacked by these Islamic Terrorist supported by oil Rich muslim countries.
Feisty Granny says
The Grand Mufti of Cyprus and also the Middle East Forum claim King Charles converted to Islam many years ago around ’79 (photos on Internet show him wearing robes of the mid East).. Listen to his speeches about Muslims and Islam, starting back in ’79. Listen to his last speech at the WEF in 1997 and hear what he has planned for England. Who are the immigrants he and parliament are allowing to enter England. Who has been allowed to hold prayers in St. George’s Chapel? Wake up Brits.
